Hi Nuno,
feeling better now the stitches are out?

Agreed. I have about 25 on one single HP box. Not ideal at all. Even
worse, all files in one directory (except control & logs obviously).
(There go my chances of ever being employed again - oh no, I have an
OCP, I'm already doomed !) But these are 'trash' databases and not cared
about in the slightest. Performance is acceptable for the developers.

is.
Again, agreed. I have one, it has its own server and runs like a dream.
(At least I never have to do anything to it !)

Again, I agree. However, some companies build a system which hard codes
the schema name into all the PL/SQL, Cobol (yes !) etc etc, so it has to
be one user one database - we have such software installed and I hate it
! It also has a nice little security problem which I reported - in order
to produce some reports from the db, it builds PL/SQL procs on the fly,
compiles them and executes them. Guess which privs it needs to allow the
users to do this CREATE_ANY_PROCEDURE and EXECUTE_ANY_PROCEDURE.
I demonstrated a method of trashing the entire databse to them using these very privs. They were not all that impressed - still haven't fixed it. Relying on 'no ordinary user will know how to do that' instead. Oh dear !
Still, keeps me working !
regards,
Norman.
